How to Get and Use Pal Souls in Palworld

In Pocketpair’s Palworld, there are various factors to not only surviving, but thriving on the beautiful yet brutal landscape of Palpagos. One such mystery component is Pal Souls. They’re a bit harder to come by, but they’re pivotal to buffing up the Pals in your party. If you’re wondering how exactly they work, here is our handy guide that answers what Pal Souls are in Palworld and how to use them.

How to Get Pal Souls in Palworld

Pal Souls are a particularly special item, as they can help provide additional permanent stat buffs to the Pals in your current party. That said, they are relatively difficult to find in the early stages of your character’s adventure in Palpagos. As you venture further outside the safety of your base and continue to level up, solid exploration will see you discovering and obtaining all types of items, including ones held inside treasure chests (as seen above).

These can hold a variety of things, including Pal Souls. To our knowledge so far, it’s the gold chests in particular that can contain Pal Souls. Pal Souls can also be found lying on the ground inside small, transparent crystals.

There are 3 different sizes of Pal Souls, each providing more significant stat upgrades as you use them. There’s no saying which type of Pal Soul you’ll find in each chest – rather, it’s just a matter of chance.

How to Use Pal Souls in Palworld

Once you have one, or preferably a handful of Pal Souls, to use them you’ll need to build something special at your base. Called a Statue of Power, this Pal-shaped monument accepts offers of Pal Souls in exchange for stat buffs that can be applied to any of the Pals in your current party.

First you’ll need to actually unlock the recipe for the Statue of Power under the ‘Technology’ tab in your character menu. Thankfully it’s not terribly far down the list at Tier 7, and you’ll need to build it as a tutorial structure regardless. Once you’ve unlocked it, you can construct a Statue of Power straight from the ‘Build’ menu option at the bottom of your screen. Note that it requires 20x Stone and 10x Paldium Fragments for construction.

Once it’s on the ground, approach to interact with it, and it’ll give you two options: ‘Enhance Player Stats’ (this is done with Lifmunk Effigies) or ‘Enhance Pals’. As Pal Souls are not that abundant, we’d suggest choosing carefully, and if you’d like to buff a Pal, make sure it’s one you plan to stick with for at least awhile.
